At first, I didn't like Space Ranger and Koi Moyou too much.I've even need about 2-3 months to like it. But now, both of them become my favorite song as well ( I liked all of SCANDAL song though, so I didn't really have any favorite song)

It would be Haruka for me. I thought it was to poppy. At that time, I was still new to Scandal and the songs I knew were mostly garage rock so I wasn't really used to the extra instruments they always insert into their songs. When I first heard Haruka, i thought the intro was okay but when it came to the keyboard part i was like WHOOAAA wat. I didn't really complete the song. But gradually I came to like it. Although I'm not too fond of the 'ho ha hi ho' part at the end of the song.

Before I became a serious SCANDAL fan, there are lots of SCANDAL songs that I don't really like. Even the first song that I heard from them, which is Shoujo S, was not that impressive in my ears from the first time I listened to it. Maybe it was too rockish for my tastes that time (but now that I watched the PV again, I have really come to like it very much). But still for unknown reasons, I still did a background check on them. And to this day, I don't know what I was thinking back then, but I looked up for their PVs in YouTube, then found SAKURA Goodbye and Koi Moyou, and I really like both songs at first listen.

Then due to more boredom and curiosity (well, mostly boredom), I looked for their albums (I also have no idea about singles, so the B-sides were unfortunately not given a chance to be heard). At that time, they only had 2 studio albums, which is of course BEST SCANDAL and TEMPTATION BOX. I skipped all the songs in BEST SCANDAL aside from the ones I know. I didn't like the songs especially SCANDAL BABY, Kagerou, Space Ranger and DOLL. For TEMPTATION BOX, I did the same thing. I skipped all the songs except for Aitai and Sayonara My Friend. I have to say that looking back now, I really had a very bad start with SCANDAL.

After I lost all my data about SCANDAL because my first laptop got stolen, unfortunately, it took almost a year until I sought to look them up again.

Once again, I didn't like SCANDAL Nanka Buttobase, LOVE SURVIVE, and the majority of their BABY ACTION album, and the only ones I like were GLAMOROUS YOU, Sono toki sekai wa Kimi Darake no Rain, Haruka and one piece.

To sum it up, almost all of their songs took time to grow on me, especially before I became a serious fan and got accustomed to their music. Even when I decided to be their fan, there are still a lot of songs that took time to grow on me, especially the B-sides. My goodness... How did I became a fan of this band when only a few of their songs impressed me? There's no concrete reason really. Maybe because of their Don't say Lazy cover I guess. I really like K-ON. But I don't like the ending song of the first season, Don't say Lazy. Ironic, isn't it? But how they did it made an impact, and I like their version of the song more. And maybe because of their live versions of the songs. Most of the time, the live version is better than the recorded version.

Sorry for the very long post, but yeah, SCANDAL in the end was able to reach me, and it was worth it.

Space Ranger! I first saw it in live performance video and didn't like it (I didn't know that time that it was there debut single). Then I saw the PV and saw there youthful beauty...

Yumemiru Tsubasa too.. That time, I'm just a newbie fan and every PV I gathered was just mindblowing me like Shunkan, TaiKimi, Cute! etc... It's a little below there standard is my first impression about it.. I just learned to love it more upon listening it everyday..

Took a while to get used to songs like Taiyou to Kimi ga Egaku STORY and Beauteen! but now I'm so addicted to them. It just gives you such a fun and light mood. Also, most of their songs from their Encore Album XD But of course, they definitely grew on me and now I rock to them to heheh

At first, I couldn't stand Playboy. I thought it was noisy and repetitive. Then I listened to it again and I started to think it was a bit catchy but still would try to avoid it. Now, it's one of my top five favorite songs and I almost have it memorized.

Two songs that I can think of at the moment that I still don't really like and skip when they play are BURN and GIRLism. I just can't get into them, lol.

When i first heard HARUKAZE i thought Haru's voice is too deep, is just... ugly. But later i started listen scandal's songs often and then her voice was so unique and nice for me. Now HARUKAZE is one of my favorite songs. LOVE SURVIVE sounded terrible at the beginning but now i really like it. Haru's and Timo's voices <3 I still don't like Shoujo M. It's just weird, i can't explain it.

mine has to be Shining Sun and Kagerou. I slap an album in, let it play, do something else and let the album play and suddenly when I like the tune I'm hearing that I don't know i look at the tracklist and I was like.. nice~ applies to a lot of songs. xD

There are a lot of Scandal's songs I didn't like the first time especially their first songs (Shoujo S, Doll, Kagerou...) But now I love Shoujo S and Doll, I think it's because of all the lives I watched ^^.

I still don't like Playboy, Pinheel Surfer, Brand new wave...I wait the live version :D

Everybody say yeah was the one I disliked the most I think, and I don't like to listen to it now but in live it's just awesome!

For me, it was actually majority of Temptation Box. Not that I thought it was a bad album, but I purchased the first three albums at the same time, so I didn't really pay any much attention to it because I really loved Best Scandal and Baby Action. But after hearing a lot of the songs live, especially Aitai, and Taiyou to Kimi no Egaku Story, I've grown to love it.

Songs I still skip, though, are Shunkan Sentimental, Rock'n Roll, and OVERDRIVE.

Haruka. I think I listened to it when I had first found out about SCANDAL, and I didn't really get into the band at the time because of it. I thought it was kind of boring, and didn't bother looking at any more SCANDAL songs after it.

But now listening to it again, I can't see how I found it boring at the time! I love the beautiful instrumentals, and Haruna and Tomomi's voices, and how calming it is.

A lot acutally. The first one I heard was Shunkan Sentimental and I loved it instantly but when I looked them up I was like "None of their other songs are as good, humph". But I'll brush over that phase cos it didn't last long.

The biggest one for me is probably Yumemiru Tsubasa. I really did hate that song rather irrationally. Actually, no my reason was that they said the same thing too many times. But then one day I was learning some Japanese vocab and the word "tsubasa" meaning wings came up and that song just came ringing out in my head and I jumped up and ran around my room with my arms spread out like a toddler prentending to be an aeroplane screaming "YUME MIRU TSUBASA NI NOTTE" and I have loved it ever since.
